Persuasive Essay
I want our class to learn important subjects. That is why I think we
should go to Austin, Texas. The places in Austin I think we should go to
are San Felipe de Austin, the capitol building, and a country music
concert.
My first reason is that if we go to Austin we will learn about our
history. We could see where Stephen F. Austin brought the early
settlers in San Felipe de Austin. This will be very helpful for us, because
we have been reading about Texas’s early settlers in our social studies
book. Wouldn’t it be fascinating to see San Felipe de Austin with our
own eyes? It will definitely help us do well on the tests and quizzes that
you give us too.
My second reason is that we can learn about the government. If we
went to the capitol building, we could take the tour that they have, and
we would learn what the people who work there do. Who knows, we
might even meet our governor! This is certainly important because
when we grow up we might want to have a government job.
My third and final reason is that we could have a wonderful time in
Austin by going to a country music concert. Austin is famous for having
country music concerts. In music class we sing country songs, and four
kids in our class take guitar lessons. Seeing an actual country music
concert would be as enjoyable as sitting in an awesome music class.
If we go to Austin, we will learn about history, learn about the
government, and hear a great concert. We can learn a lot at school,
but isn’t it much more interesting to see places and people in person?
Obviously, the answer is yes. I hope you will consider letting us go to
Austin.
